By using a Google Streetview-like camera, a system with six lenses, not as a photo but as a video camera, an all-encompassing picture is captured. […]
From the point where the images were recorded, the viewer can look in any direction, let his eyes wander through the crowd, or stare at the ground or the air, which makes viewing a video an experience without boundaries.

This is a list of some of the most influential and interesting sources on Twitter. It’s somewhat California-centric, but includes major Flash events, evangelists, and pros from around the world. It’s not absolute nor complete. But I did make a point of finding people that are active and often on topic.
Update: I’ll update the list over the next few days for accuracy and add/remove names if requested. I also created an Addendum for 15 19 new names & sources (added on Wed), so if you’ve already gone through the list, you don’t have to guess what’s new.

Update part 2:
I didn’t add all of the suggested names – there’s too many great people (~150+ suggestions). I filtered for “signal to noise” and relevance to SilvaFUG users.
I highly recommend that you take the time to make personalized lists for your UGs and friends. They’ll appreciate it =)
(nytimes.com) …for the next several days a remarkable replay of the audio is allowing any Web user to experience the momentous 1969 space mission as it happened.
The as-it-happened audio feed between mission control and the Apollo 11 spacecraft is being streamed on WeChooseTheMoon.com, a presentation of AOL and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum.
I was less than one year old when the real first-landing occurred, and by coincidence my brother was born exactly one year later (so I always remember the date), so this reenactment is very exciting and personal for me.
I managed to catch stages 4, 5, and 6 “as they happened” and have been following the audio at work (people thought I was listening to a police scanner *heh*).
[Update] Stage 7 was on Sunday…
This Monday, July 20 will be the big finale: stages 7 8 through 11, aka the orbit around the moon and actual landing. I recommend tuning in.
I could only imagine ten years from now a complete and virtual reenactment ;-)

I’ve got a short window for making funds, and have been planning to go to MAX, so this weekend I went ahead and registered for the Adobe MAX conference coming up in October.
I attended last year when it was in San Francisco and certainly learned a lot from the sessions. I also learned it’s best to register early because the best sessions fill up fast.
This year is especially attractive for a number of reasons. This will be my first year as an Adobe User Group Manager for SilvaFUG; I’m very curious to see what’s in store for us in the big manager meeting on the 4th. Also in store is FITC’s LAFlashapalooza IV on Saturday Oct 3rd – a fantastic all-day FREE meet-up hosted by LAFlash. Definitely going to be a party.
As for labs and session, I’ve scored pretty well. First off, I know downtown LA and have little expectation of being onsite and on time for any 8am / 9am sessions. My earliest start at 10:30am – much more convenient for the late night meet-ups.
My longest lab is a three hour hands-on overview of four Flex frameworks. I’ve talked a TON of smack about frameworks (they all suck), but I should probably learn the major ones are so I can speak the lingo when I trash-talk.
There’s also a lot of great sessions on P2P in Flash and new video so I grabbed up sessions on Flash Collaborative Services, Adobe Strobe, Adobe Stratus, RTMFP, and AIR for mobile apps. Some of the P2P session appear to be redundant, but cover different angles. For example – one is with the engineering team while another will show off current projects using the technology.
Here’s my list:
(createdigitalmotion.com) Reader Eric Socolofsky writes to share a framework he’s created that makes it much easier to work with the Flash-based, open source FLARToolkit, called FLARManager. Version 0.4 is just released:
http://words.transmote.com/wp/20090618/flarmanager-v04/
FLARManager has a number of features that improve upon the existing work done by FLARToolkit:
- Building the apps themselves is easier. Fire up the framework with Flex Builder (or Flash, or Eclipse, or FlashDevelop), and you have access to all the libraries you need, so you can start playing more or less out of the box. Hello, world, indeed.
- You don’t have to rely on Papervision if you don’t want to. Papervision, the faux-3D library for Flash, is included with the distribution. But marker tracking is decoupled from Papervision, so you don’t have to use it if you don’t need it.
- Better event management. Marker adding, updating, and removal, multiple pattern detection and management, and the like are all extended in FLARManager.
- Great documentation. Eric has taken the time to read some fantastic getting started tutorials, all accessible from the site above so you can go play.
Now, you wouldn’t pick Flash for speed – that’s not the idea.
